"Of special interest to jamfans will be the release of Notes From San Francisco, a 2-disc collection that includes never-before-heard studio sessions with saxophonist Martin Fierro (Zero, Jerry Garcia Band).

Recorded in 1977, the masters were shelved at the time and have never seen the light of day until now. Fierro and violinist Joe O’Donnell joined Gallagher and his core band of bassist Gerry McAvoy and drummer Rod de’Ath for the San Francisco sessions.

Fierro passed away in March of 2008 after a short battle with cancer. "

Rory’s hand-written lyrics for the studio album were in a notebook in the possession of the album’s original producer, Elliot Mazer (famous for his work with Neil Young, Janis Joplin, Linda Ronstadt and The Byrds, amongst many others) and these have also been reproduced in the new artwork."
